Diamondbacks' Landon Sims: Cleared to rejoin Single-A squad
Rotowire
Single-A Visalia reinstated Sims (elbow) from its 60-day injured list Monday.
Sims is still awaiting his full-season debut, but he looks like he'll get the opportunity to pitch for Visalia within the next few days now that he's been activated after completed his recovery from Tommy John surgery, a procedure he underwent prior to being drafted last summer. The 22-year-old right-hander joined the Single-A club after he struck out 11 while allowing three earned runs on seven hits and four walks in 10 innings during his extended rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Diamondbacks' Landon Sims: Pitching in AZL
Rotowire
Sims (elbow) has struck out six and walked two over 5.1 scoreless innings across four rehab appearances in the Arizona Complex League.
Sims, who has two monster pitches in his fastball and slider, had Tommy John surgery last spring and is too advanced for the hitters at this level, so the results don't tell us much other than that he is healthy enough to pitch in games. It's unclear when he will be assigned to an affiliate.
